If you just had a pet scan to see if you had lug cancer and you were really scared cause your dad died of it? |
at your age in great pain and you just survived a serious car accident a bit ago where you missed death had you had been one second slower according to everyone and then you just found out an hour and a half ago that it was negative (except they said still a 10% change it could be cancer and they followup in three months with repeat pet scan), wouldn't you still be happy? death related stuff of late about..just chance or some message..plus my mom recently died...it just seems odd to me and I just remembered that the cat scan from the wreck showed a small cyst in the kidney and I asked what does that mean and he said there is a chance it is cancer. I think since the pet scan covered me from "eyes to thighs?" as the technician said, that should cover the kidneys..you think a pulmonary specialist could read the kidney thing too right..OH god I better call her tomorrow and have her check that too as I do have a previous history of breast cancer (bit ok about 10 years) first off I am very happy to hear you do not have lung cancer and do not have to suffer as you dad did. It is normal to be anxious about something so serious. Sorry you are suffering from depression. I hope you can find the right meds for you to feel better. You seem to have excessive anxiety about medical conditions, too. You should consult a psychiatrist for your depression and anxiety. |
